Welcome recruits, I am Axel Vaughn, Head of the Specialized Neutralization and Action Force Unit (the Secret Service of THCity). Together with Kael Jensen who oversees the Community Outreach and Protection Squad (our law enforcement troops) and Dr. Shen Saeed who oversees the Department Cybersecurity and Cryptography, I want to thank you for helping us face this imminent threat to our city.

About a month ago, the Xtreme Scavenger Squad attempted to shut down completely all the THCity security systems, effectively handing the city to them on a golden plate. With the help of talented private investigators (Guy Roux and Crazer, congratulations to them) we were able to deactivate their logic bomb at the last moment, but this was only the first step in their offensive.

Our investigators were able to find the following ultimatum while deactivating the attack system. Seing this the SNAFU issued a call for help to withstand this attack to which you answered.

Since these events everything accelerated. Viktor LaGraine and his gang have been wrecking havoc in our systems and took control of some key asset both digitally and in the city. They have allied with other gangs and we suspect they may have some other support. The mayor of THCity is currently at the hospital for unknown reasons, so his press secretary Lena Kim is trying to calm the . Several websites belonging to the government or to government-backed corporations have been hacked and a lot of evidence have been collected wy our services, but we are outnumbered and overrun. Whatever your skills are, we need your help.
